10 junk miles explained. Welcome to 10 junk miles. Seven years after this show started

I decided I should drop a mission statement of sorts into the feed episode one and the

Facebook page in an effort to explain the show. This message comes to you from 2022 from

daunting. I hope these people inspire you to find longer distances more accessible and

training less sucky. I want these discussions to push you off that cliff to do your first
